Product Description

All Nella wants is somewhere to flake out for a couple of weeks. So a cottage in France with a pool, a group of friends and a lot of local wine sounds perfect. But things start going wrong as soon as she arrives. A blast from her past is staying nearby and her best friend is trying to matchmake her with the wrong man, and that's before she's accused of seducing someone else's boyfriend...Just as Nella thinks she's had enough, a priceless possession goes missing and at least one person believes she might have something to do with it. Can things get any worse? Nella knows she's not the one who's up to no good. So who can it be?

Read it!!!!!!!!
This book was so funny. I read it in a couple of hours, its just so hard to put it down. I've read a couple of her books and they are all brilliant but this is my favourite.

More marvelous, frothy fun from Victoria Corby
One of the things I love best about Victoria Corby's novels is that she creates wonderfully likeable, self-deprecating, sympathetic heroines, and then catapults them into a series of hilarious misadventures. In Up to No Good, the heroine Nella is on a week's vacation with friends among the vineyards of south-west France and gets embroiled with stolen paintings, ex-boyfriends, the housemate from hell, and ... well, you have to read the rest for yourself. You're in for quite a treat. I just wish Victoria would produce her books a lot faster--there is no one who writes chick books any better!

Unputodownable!
I loved this story of a holiday that doesn't go as planned. It gallops along at a tremendous pace - Corby has got a lovely light touch and is very funny in places and she 'does' France rather better than some more well known names. I just loved the cricket match in the middle of the vines! Very good indeed - reccomended.
